Sunday's Super Bowl LIII was briefly interrupted by a trailer for Jordan Peele's forthcoming reboot of The Twilight Zone.

We got fresh trailers for Avengers: End Game, Captain Marvel, and a hilarious Game of Thrones hijacking of a Bud Light ad during the Super Bowl this year, among other goodies. But by far the trippiest trailer was the teaser for Jordan Peele's forthcoming reboot of The Twilight Zone for CBS All Access.

Viewers thought they were returning to the game. But then the screen flickered into static, followed by an ominous message against a black screen: "CBS is off the air." You could almost hear the frustrated screams of millions of football fans echoing across the nation. Naturally, it was a fake-out: it was really the new trailer for The Twilight Zone.

The image returns, and we see an empty stadium with a lone figure walking slowly across the field. Doppelgängers of the same man are dotted about the otherwise empty seats as a voiceover talks about being "a man both nowhere and everywhere at the same time." Then we cut to a close-up, and surprise! It's Jordan Peele! "When truth is not the truth, what dimension are you even in?" he intones. Then a white door mysteriously appears on the field, and Peele opens it and walks through, disappearing into another dimension—presumably the Twilight Zone. Cue the familiar spooky musical theme. It didn't tell us much about the new series, but it was certainly an effective teaser.

All clear on the Super Bowl LIII broadcast.

Rod Serling created the original Twilight Zone anthology series for CBS in 1959, and it was an instant hit with viewers. Serling was a fan of both pulp fiction and science fiction and combined those passions with a strong interest in social commentary on topics such as nuclear war or McCarthyism. And he loved a good twist ending. The series was successfully revived in the 1980s, and again (less successfully) in 2002. There was also a 1983 feature film, notorious because actor Victor Morrow and two child actors were killed in a freak helicopter accident during filming.

Peele's narration in this third revival is (let's face it) better than Serling's stiff, clipped delivery, even though the latter has its nostalgic charms. He has much more experience on camera than Serling, who purportedly had to be coaxed into appearing on screen in the original series. Based on information that has leaked so far, it sounds like this latest reboot will stay pretty true to the spirit of the original series, including a remake of the classic episode, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," which first aired in 1963 and is based on a short story by sci-fi author and screenwriter Richard Matheson.

The list of guest stars for the ten episodes in season one reads like a Hollywood Who's Who. Adam Scott stars in "Nightmare at 30,000 feet," while Steve Yeun and Greg Kinnear will appear in an episode entitled "The Traveler." Other rumored guest stars include Kumail Nanjiani, John Cho, and Sanaa Lathan (who will appear in an episode entitled "Rewind"). All in all, we're keen to see what Peele does with this science fiction franchise.
